Translating the Language of Your Body

I am amazed at what the human body is capable of communicating about itself. So much of what I do is about helping reflect back to my patients what their bodies are imploring them to do. Stomach pain may be a request for less or more of a certain food group. Frequent headaches can be the body saying that more space needs to be created in the schedule for downtime. Irregular cycles may be the body saying that other aspects of life have become too stressful and reproduction is no longer a priority.

One essential requirement for the body to express, or speak, health and balance is an abundance of nutrients that support that balance. When I listen to a patient's story and their answers to my questions, I am listening to what her body is asking for. Then I recommend the foods, supplements, and treatment schedule that best answers the needs that are being expressed. Additionally, I will speak back to the patient to help her understand what her body is saying in plain language, so that she can begin to align her actions with the body's requests.

The results are often nothing short of amazing. I have seen years-long struggles with migraines, insomnia, infertility, and pain resolve in weeks or even less. This is because once the body knows it has been heard, and it begins to receive the answer it is looking for, its healing intelligence is amplified beyond any limit previously thought possible. I no longer just believe this. I see it as fact.
